There were no mini marshmallows back in the 50’s – 60’s. Since I had the best culinary knife skills of the family, I got the job if slicing the marshmallows by hand. I haven’t had this in years. My wife hates this; especially the marshmallow part. BTW, when I did make it, I still slice my large marshmallows by hand.<br />Thanks again. God bless.<br />Chris Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05303797389350022460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695338129494842494.post-10082615262049139652016-11-24T22:03:37.069-06:002016-11-24T22:03:37.069-06:00That is amazing and wonderful!!!That is amazing and wonderful!!!Mary | Deep South Dishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06030573009618096220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695338129494842494.post-43376124543271368162016-11-23T17:37:51.568-06:002016-11-23T17:37:51.568-06:00We have made these for over 35 years and they are ...We have made these for over 35 years and they are a family hit every year.
